After what Zeeland officials are calling a good turnout for the city's first-ever spring Peddlers Market in May, a fall version is being planned.Kerri VanDorp, the city's events coordinator, said many of the 30 vendors at May's show expressed delight with sales. The markets are among more than a dozen events city officials have planned this summer, aimed at family fun while boosting downtown foot traffic.The Peddlers Market is a juried show devoted to showcasing vintage furniture and décor, household goods and gifts, architectural salvage, farm to table treats, fresh flowers and botanicals, repurposed finds, handmade specialties, artwork, apparel and accessories. Vendor product prices should be between $1 and $250. Shoppers will also find farm-to-table food and can buy beverages and drinks as they browse.Dubbed by planners as "An Artfully Curious Faire," the market is set outside, on Main Avenue, between Elm and Church streets. The deadline to apply is Aug. 1; vendors will be notified of acceptance by Aug. 18. Vendors accepted to the markets pay a non-refundable $50 fee for a 15-by-15-foot space and must provide their own tables, chairs, tents and signs, according to the application.Zeeland's Fall Peddlers Market is set for 2-8 p.m. Sept. 6, a Saturday.
